Abstract: To explore the substituents how to affect the excited state for the the terpyridyl Pt(Ⅱ) complexes, we calculated a series of complexes [Pt(trpy)C≡CC6H4R]+[trpy=2,2',6',2″-Terpyridine; R=NO2(1), Cl(2), H(3) and CH3(4)]. MP2 and CIS methods were used to optimize the ground and excited states for the four complexes, and TDDFT method at B3LYP level was employed to obtain their phosphorescent emission spectra. The results reveal that the lowest-energy phosphorescence of compound 1 can be assigned as the Pt—C≡C→trpy charge transfer(3MLCT/3LLCT) transitions and perturbed by the ππ* transition localized on the C6H4NO2 moiety, due to the stronger electron-withdrawing ability of NO2 and the possible resonance structures in C≡CC6H4NO2. But the other three complexes were only attributed to 3MLCT/3LLCT characters. In addition, the excited-state structures are similar to those of the ground-state ones, which is in agreement with the small Stokes-shift in the experiments.
